Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. reported strong fiscal 2025 results with total operating revenues of $19,457 thousand, up 68% from 2024. Growth was driven by land development and sales revenue of $5,811 thousand and leasing revenue of $12,799 thousand, aided by 15 new leases and broader asset management efforts.

Adjusted EBITDA rose to $1,766 thousand, a 146% increase from 2024, marking a second year of improvement. The company still posted a net loss of $10,579 thousand, or $0.54 per share, largely due to $6,600 thousand of pension and post-retirement expense related to funding and annuitizing its qualified pension plan.

Cash and investments convertible to cash totaled $5,295 thousand at year-end, down from $9,522 thousand a year earlier. The company highlighted targeted non-strategic land sales totaling $2,435 thousand and launched a 38-acre blue weber agave agricultural venture, while planning to resolve remaining pension obligations in late 2026 at an estimated $1,600 thousand.

Insights

Strong top-line and EBITDA growth, but higher net loss and lower liquidity.

Maui Land & Pineapple delivered a sharp turnaround in operations for 2025. Total operating revenues grew to $19,457k, up 68%, with leasing revenue at $12,799k and land development and sales at $5,811k. Adjusted EBITDA improved to $1,766k, a 146% increase, showing better recurring earnings power.

The company used this progress to reshape its portfolio: six non-strategic parcels generated $2,435k and 38 acres of blue weber agave were planted, adding a new agricultural revenue stream. It also funded and annuitized a major pension obligation at a $6,600k expense, driving the net loss to $(10,579)k despite better operations.

Liquidity narrowed, with cash and investments convertible to cash falling to $5,295k from $9,522k as of December 31, 2024. The company expects remaining pension obligations of about $1,600k to be funded in Q4 2026, so future filings will show how ongoing land sales, leasing growth and the agave venture support both investment and legacy commitments.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA improved by 146% in 2025, marking the second consecutive year"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Cash and Investments Convertible to Cash financial
"Cash and Investments Convertible to Cash is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as"
share-based compensation financial
"Share-based compensation | | | 4,318 | | | | 6,312 |"
Share-based compensation is when a company pays employees, executives or directors with its own stock or rights to buy stock instead of, or in addition to, cash. Think of it like receiving store gift cards instead of extra paycheck — it can motivate staff to boost the company’s value, but it also increases the number of shares outstanding and can shrink each existing owner’s slice of profits and voting power. Investors watch it because it affects reported earnings, share count and the alignment between management and shareholders.
pension and other post-retirement expenses financial
"Pension and other post-retirement expenses | | | (6,912 | ) |"
non-GAAP financial measures financial
"Certain non-GAAP financial measures are presented in this press release, including"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.

Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. Reports Fiscal Year 2025 Results

 

KAPALUA, Hawaii / March 31, 2026 (BusinessWire) – Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. (NYSE: MLP) today reported financial results covering the year ended December 31, 2025.

 

“Our fiscal year 2025 results reflect significant progress in executing strategic initiatives, with operating revenues growing over 70% from last year. This growth was largely driven by higher recurring leasing revenue achieved through purposeful placemaking in our Kapalua and Hāli‘imaile town centers. These results were complemented by an increase of over 146% in Adjusted EBITDA from 2024, marking the second consecutive year of improvement.

 

We are seeing meaningful momentum in our efforts to maximize productivity and drive value creation. These efforts are supported by targeted land sales, which provide incremental capital to fuel investments in our asset portfolio and agricultural operations, including our new scalable agave venture.

 

We also took action to strengthen our future financial foundation and fulfill our kuleana (responsibility) to former plantation-era pineapple employees by funding and annuitizing their pension plan,” said Race Randle, CEO, Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc.

 

Notable achievements this year include the following:

 

-

In 2025, leasing revenues improved by 33%, aided by dedicated asset management and the execution of 15 new leases. From January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025, 42 leases, comprising 34 commercial leases accounting for 83,812 leasable square feet and 8 land leases encompassing 1,131 acres of land were executed. We continue to focus on opportunities to enhance this recurring revenue stream and provide stable capital for our ongoing operations, through improved occupancy and purposeful placemaking.

-

The Company sold six non-strategic land parcels throughout the year, generating $2,435,000 in sales revenues to fund planning and development of active projects. There are fourteen additional parcels that are either actively listed by a broker or privately marketed for sale.

-

These efforts drove total operating revenues up by 68% in 2025, primarily reflecting improvements in land sales and growth in leasing revenues. Adjusted EBITDA improved by 146% in 2025, marking the second consecutive year improving this measurement.

 - 

On the agricultural front, the Company launched a new drought-tolerant agricultural venture, planting approximately 38 acres of blue weber agave on underutilized croplands in Upcountry, Maui. The Company is proud to have returned to agriculture activities and will advance efforts to develop value-added products with this drought-tolerant crop.

-

Finally, the Company fulfilled its largest remaining commitment to former employees by funding and annuitizing the qualified pension plan at an expense of $6.6 million. The final remaining pension plan obligations are scheduled to be funded and resolved in the fourth quarter of 2026 at an estimated cost of $1.6 million.

 

“We are pleased with the 2025 results, representing continued year-over-year improvements in our financial performance. While our Net Loss increased due to the $6.6 million non-cash GAAP recognition of our pension funding, it is critical that we honor and resolve legacy obligations as we accelerate the business in new directions which contribute to housing, agriculture, economic vitality, and small businesses on Maui,” added Randle.

 

2025 Financial Highlights

 

 

GAAP Operating Loss improved by 38% to ($4.5) million in the year ended December 31, 2025, from ($7.4) million in the year ended December 31, 2024, a year over year improvement of $2.9 million.

 

Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) improved by 146% to $1.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2025, from $0.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, a year-over-year improvement of $1.1 million.

 

Land development and sales business segment’s net operating income improved by 416% to $5.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2025, from ($0.5) million in the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

Leasing revenues improved by 33% to $12.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2025, from $9.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, a year-over-year improvement of $3.2 million.

 

Combined General and administrative and Share-based compensation expenses decreased by 15% to $9.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2025, from $10.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2024. a decrease of $1.5 million. The decrease was driven by a $2.0 million reduction in share-based compensation due to the reduced use of options. The Company does not anticipate using options for director compensation in the future, likely resulting in a decrease in share-based compensation expenses in future periods.

 

Net loss increased by 43% to ($10.6) million in the year ended December 31, 2025, from ($7.4) million in the year ended December 31, 2024. This increase of $3.2 million was primarily driven by the GAAP recognition of $6.9 million in pension expenses related to the termination of the qualified pension plan on September 30, 2025, of which $6.6 million was non-cash.

 

Cash and Investments Convertible to Cash (Non-GAAP) totaled $5.3 million on December 31, 2025, compared to $9.5 million at December 31, 2024, a decrease of $4.2 million. The decrease in cash is primarily attributed to $1.0 million in pension contributions and approximately $4.5 million of cash expended on land development activities, capital investments on assets across the portfolio, and launch of our new agave venture.

 

 

 

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Certain non-GAAP financial measures are presented in this press release, including Adjusted EBITDA and Cash and Investments Convertible to Cash, to provide information that may assist investors in understanding the Company's financial results and financial condition and assessing its prospects for future performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an important indicator of our operating performance because it excludes items that are unrelated to, and may not be indicative of, our core operating results. We believe Cash and Investments Convertible to Cash are important indicators of liquidity because it includes items that are convertible into cash in the short term. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to represent and should not be considered more meaningful measures than, or alternatives to, measures of operating performance or liquidity as determined in accordance with GAAP. To the extent we utilize such non-GAAP financial measures in the future, we expect to calculate them using a consistent method from period to period.

 

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net income (loss) excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is further adjusted for non-cash stock-based compensation expense, pension and post-retirement expenses, and bad debt. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by the Company to evaluate operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions for the allocation of capital. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA to provide information that may assist investors in understanding its financial results. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a substitute for net income (loss). A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is provided further below.

 

Cash and Investments Convertible to Cash is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as cash and cash equivalents plus investments convertible to cash within forty-eight hours. Cash and Cash Investments Convertible to Cash is a key measure used by the Company to evaluate internal liquidity.
